Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and roughly chop the onion.
- Cut the eggplants into medium-sized cubes.
- Remove the seeds and slice the red pepper into strips.
- Peel and dice the pumpkin into similar-sized cubes as the eggplant.
- Place the chopped onion, eggplant, red pepper, and diced pumpkin into a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the vegetables well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. You may need to use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding.
- Place the baking sheet(s) in the oven and roast for 25-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Turn the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure they roast evenly.
- While the vegetables are roasting, rinse and dry the arugula (rocket).
- Place the arugula in a large salad bowl or individual serving plates.
- Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the arugula.
- If you like, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice over the salad for an extra burst of freshness.
- Add a dollop of hummus to each serving for added flavor and creaminess.
- Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it as a main dish or as a side.
Tips:
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even roasting.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings to enhance their flavor before roasting.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature to achieve a nice caramelization.
- Allow the roasted vegetables to cool slightly before tossing with arugula to prevent wilting.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon over the salad for an extra burst of flavor.
- Add a few spoonfuls of hummus on top of the salad or serve on the side.
